I just got a voltmeter on the battery and it is reading 5.6 volts. So the problem is not the switch.
Either the battery has failed (it's a one-year old "new" Yuasa out of an industrial lighting system), or there is something about hooking up a small gel cell to a large AGM that isn't a good thing. I usually get away with thinking of electricity as I would think about water, but that analogy isn't working in this case. The battery had been fine for the short time I'd had it . . . until I connected the batteries for charging purposes. Again . . . they both were at full charge or very slightly below when I flipped the switch connecting them and connected the HF float charger. I've checked the float charger and it is still working okay. Anybody been through this? Thanks, Mike ____________________________________________________________ Become a Medical Transcriptionist.
